Chapter 103

Xiao Sesu and Yu Wangyan returned to Huyang City in the evening.

Due to the heavy losses from the attack on the water bandits last night, Yu Wangyan and Deng Lun continued to be busy with follow-up matters.

Xiao Sesu returned to Xiao Kai's mansion with a heavy heart, so she simply found a wicker chair in the backyard and sat down, embroidering with needles.

This time she tattooed a picture of stars all over the sky, with a dark blue silk background, and Xing-colored lines drawn as stars.

Xiao Ruyin admired Xiao Sese's embroidery skills, and kept watching, asking Xiao Sese from time to time for her advice.

After spending some time like this, he said bleakly: "The Marquis of Nanlin will not trouble you for the time being, but this time they want the lives of me and the prince, and we have so many brothers...... public and private , have to unplug Nanlin Hou as soon as possible."

"The cousin... have you thought about what to do?" Xiao Ruyin asked with concern.

Xiao Sesel smiled slightly: "It's up to Deng Lun. He must have evidence against the Nanlinhou Mansion in his hand, but he has been coerced all the time. I don't know if he should fall to the prince's side."

Xiao Ruyin said: "Master Deng looks very smooth, cousin, are you sure?"

"So what about tact? There are still weaknesses." Xiao Sesel said: "Besides, we also have tactful people here, just let them compete."

Xiao Ruyin didn't quite understand either, so she nodded thoughtfully, and continued to discuss embroidery with Xiao Sesu.

Said that Deng Lun's life is not easy.

Because Nanlin Hou failed to attack, he knew that he was going to be retaliated by Yu Wangyan and Xiao Sesel, so he called Deng Lun to Nanlin Hou's mansion, and even lured and threatened him, warning Deng Lun not to vote for Yu Wangyan.

Deng Lun was afraid of Nan Linhou, but when he thought that he almost died in the reed marsh last night, the resentment in his heart was like burning coals.

As Huyang governor, he has been useless every day since he took office.

However, Yu Wangyan chose to call him over the next day and asked him to show the account book of Huyang Yanshi.

Deng Lun's heart was trembling. Since the official salt was almost cut off, the trade in the salt market has become a private salt trade in the black market.Master Nanlin was afraid of people checking the accounts, so he once forced him to keep all the black accounts in the government.

If this ledger is shown to King Jin, wouldn't Deng Lun be classified as an accomplice?
But there is Zhao family behind Nan Linhou, if he takes refuge in King Jin, and King Jin loses to Zhao family, won't he die even worse?

Deng Lun was in a dilemma. After much deliberation, he still felt that the Nanlin Hou Mansion and the Zhao family were powerful, so he planned to make fake accounts to fool Yu Wangyan.

Deng Lun knew that the matter of false accounts was no small matter, and he had to find someone who was perfect, and had excellent accounting skills, without showing any flaws.Such a person, looking at Huyang, it seems that only Bai Ye, the owner of Fengyue Casino, can meet the requirements.

So, Deng Lun secretly took the gift and went to Fengyue Casino to find Bai Ye.

Right now, Bai Ye was gambling with others, and one of his subordinates accidentally lost a thousand taels of silver, so he, the boss, had to fight in person to get it back.

Deng Lun watched the game in a low-key manner. He saw the precious dice on the table fluctuating for a while, and a group of people cheered and shouted around him. He didn't even see what happened on the gaming table. Applause to celebrate.

The clerks from the gambling shop even came over, squeezed Bai Ye's shoulders, beat his legs, poured tea and took towels.

"The boss is amazing! The boss is number one in the world!"

"Damn, I dare not say that I am number one in the world." Bai Ye took a peanut from the bamboo plate, threw it up, and the peanut fell into his mouth accurately.

"I have to gamble back the thousand taels of silver. This is what was agreed at the beginning. Let's continue."

The opponent has lost two rounds in a row, and their momentum is no longer there.Deng Lun craned his neck to watch the battle, waiting for Bai Ye to finish his bet so that he could hire Bai Ye to do the bill.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye's battle would be over in a short while, not to mention getting back a thousand taels of silver, and winning an extra 500 taels.When he got off the gambling table, he tossed peanuts and said angrily, "Thank you for your patronage, and welcome to come again next time!"

The other party was so angry that he almost fainted.

Deng Lun hurriedly passed through the crowd and caught up with Bai Ye.

However, what Deng Lun didn't expect was that Bai Ye had discovered him long ago, and Yu Wangyan also knew that when it came to making accounts, Deng Lun would most likely go to Bai Ye, a famous "profiteer".Therefore, persuading Deng Lun to surrender became Bai Ye's next battle.

The two were talking in the private room on the third floor of the casino. Bai Ye was waving a folding fan and eating peanuts, while Deng Lun was sitting on pins and needles, with cold sweat on his forehead.

He really didn't expect that when he came to look for Bai Ye, it was Yu'er who took the bait directly.

"I said, Mr. Deng, don't we, His Royal Highness King Jin, know about the innocence in your heart? Let me tell you the truth. The villain and King Jin have a deep friendship. He specially asked the villain, if he sees Since you are here, I will invite you here to explain the pros and cons to you."

"This...my officer..." Deng Lun didn't dare to speak nonsense.

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Anyway, King Jin knows that you are going to make fake accounts, and you still want to deceive King Jin? Just listen to the villain's advice and hand over all the accounts of Yanshi to King Jin. King Jin knows that you are being coerced Yes, I won’t hold you accountable, and I’ll say that you have contributed a lot to helping him solve the Huyang salt case.”

"This this……"

"My Lord Deng, why are you still hesitating? It's all about this point. Didn't you see that the Nanlin Hou Mansion wants to dump you as an outcast?"

When Bai Ye said this, Deng Lun's face immediately turned pale.When the time comes for Nanlinhou's mansion to be exonerated, he, the governor of Huyang, must be the first to be the scapegoat. At that time, Nanlinhou will definitely find a way to put everything on him.

"Master Deng, if you hesitate any longer, you will lose your life." Bai Ye poured a cup of tea for Deng Lun and stuffed it into his stiff and cold hands.

"Have some tea, look at his cold hands." Bai Ye said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you really don't think about yourself, but you have to think about the beautiful girls in your family and your children Right? The oldest of them seems to be 15 years old, the villain is right?"

"You...Boss Bai, you have investigated all of my family background!" Deng Lun sighed helplessly, patting his legs.

"I'm sorry, I'm a businessman, I like to ask more questions." Bai Ye hugged his fan and bowed in a serious manner, "Master Deng, that's the end of the villain's words, you should go back and think about it. Oh, yes, One last thing to remind you, don't look at the arrogance of the Huyang Zhao family, there is Tangcheng Xiao family behind His Royal Highness King Jin."

After being persuaded and threatened by Bai Ye, Deng Lun left, feeling top-heavy and restless all the way. He really felt like he was walking in a swamp, and if he took a wrong step, he would regret it.

If it weren't for the fact that this officialdom can't come and go as it pleases, Deng Lun really wanted to take off his black hat and quit.

As a result, when he returned home, he saw the concubine with a big belly coming to greet her.

This little concubine is his favorite, her belly is already on her due date, and she has invited people to see her before, and they all said she is pregnant with a boy... Thinking of the future of this big family resting on his shoulders, Deng Lun sighed .

On the contrary, this little concubine, who is usually smiling, is now like Deng Lun, with a sad face.

She dragged Deng Lun to cry and said that when she went out today, she wanted to ask for auspicious divination for the baby in her stomach, but what she asked for was a big bad luck. Even the fortune teller said that she had never seen such a bad luck in ten years of fortune-telling. of.

The fortune teller also said that the child's life was bet on its father, and if the father did not turn back, the child might not even be born.

Seeing the little concubine crying like pear blossoms and rain, Deng Lun had no choice but to make a decision. That night, he dug out the account books of the Nanlinhou Mansion, took them to Xiao Kai's house together with the evidence that he was coerced by the Nanlinhou Mansion, and handed them all over to Xiao Kai. Forget about it.

Xiao Sesel was outside the room, watching Deng Lun knelt at Yu Wangyan's feet, accepting his question, smiled secretly in his heart, turned around and said to He fear who was standing by, "It seems that you, a fortune teller, pretend to be Well done."

He feared: "It's because they have ghosts in their hearts."

"That's right, only when there is a crack in the heart will it be shaken." Xiao Sesu murmured, "No matter how small the crack is..."

Hearing what Xiao Sesel seemed to be sighing, He Ji stared at her and called softly: "Miss Biao?"

Xiao Sesu looked at He fear, her quiet and beautiful eyes were full of firmness.

"Hey, I seem to have learned something from Deng Lun." Xiao Sesel said: "Everyone has the cracks in people's hearts, but...for what I insist on, since I choose to persist, don't let my heart appear. Any crack that would be shaken by the slightest."

He Wei was stunned for a moment, his eyes were filled with a desolate Fontainebleau-like face, and eyes full of firmness and tenacity.

With the criminal evidence submitted by Deng Lun, Yu Wangyan took Yu Qingyun's remaining officers and soldiers and Huyang's soldiers to raid Nanlinhou's mansion with lightning speed.

Nanlin Hou assembled some guards to resist, but Yu Wangyan had already invited Zhang Shengzhi from Emperor Tianying before coming to Huyang—as long as the evidence was convincing, he could kill him first and play later.

Overnight, the Nanlin Hou Mansion was full of chickens and dogs, the mistress and concubines were crying, and the servants and maids were checked one by one, and those who had no problems were kicked out.

Mr. Hou, who was lying on the couch, was supervised by the inner three floors and the outer three floors, and it didn't work to call him father or mother.

The Marquis of Nanlin fell from his horse.

This news is great news for the people of Huyang.And the private salt market, which had been manipulated by Nanlinhou's mansion before, was arrested by Yu Wangyan's men and distributed the private salt to the common people because of the lack of backstage.

Yu Wangyan threw Master Nanlin into prison and interrogated him himself.

Colluding with water bandits to rob the government's salt ship, and then selling the official salt to private salt merchants to exploit the people, these crimes were all admitted by Lord Nanlin.

But when Yu Wangyan asked about the forces behind him, Lord Nanlin said righteously that he was the mastermind and no one ordered him.

Regarding this attitude, Yu Wangyan certainly knew what Master Nanlin was planning.

All of them will be escorted back to Beijing, most likely to be executed.So he wanted to rely on himself to take the blame and let the Zhao family keep his family members, especially his son.
